Between the lucrative horse trade, the stuff I get from invoking my deity, the daily foundry runs I do every couple of days, minus what I spend on greater scrolls of identification, I should pull in 70k+ a week. And that's before all the Leadership stuff I hope to get to in the near future. Not bad for a single character.

Well, there is The Witcher 2, and the upcoming The Witcher 3, both of which are/will be DRM-free. I guess that's as high profile as it gets for recent DRM-free PC games.

Eventually Kinect will also tuck you in at night and read you a bedtime story, or can it already do that?

LOL Last minute PR decisions or not, Sony came out of E3 smelling like roses, while Microsoft, they came out of it smelling like... something else.

Yeah, sounds kind of interesting, even if I don't buy for a second that "Harkyn is not your ordinary hero". Let's see: White - check Male - check Secretive history - check I dunno, sounds like about as typical a hero as they get. Anyway, I'm definitely interested to find out more about this game.

63.27602% less invisible walls.

Go for it, I doubt just one player could really flood the market. I'm hoping the June 20th launch brings in new players and creates a horse buying frenzy that further drives up prices.

Microsoft can keep an eye on you (literally) and keep you safe from the boogeyman.

Man, I am loving the horse trade on the AH. I can easily make close to the 5 gold it takes to buy a horse in a day just from my regular play, without any excess grinding. I can then sell said horse in the AH for somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 or 9k AD on average. That's a nice little source of income, I hope it lasts.

That's a really good idea. I can't wait to test it out in TW2 (that will give me an excuse to play through the game for the 6th time), and it makes all the sense in the world to pass that change, if successful, along to the next game, as it's being made with the same engine, well a new iteration of it, but I'm sure it's quite similar.

Pfft, Call of Duty was better before it sold out. I used to follow Project: Eternity, when it was still underground. I play Leisure Suit Larry Box: Office Bust because it's ironic.

I'm likely in the minority, but I actually enjoyed the mini games in TW2. Boxing was fun, but too easy. Dice poker was fun, but random, as expected. Arm wrestling was a blast, and actually somewhat challenging. As mentioned, if you're not down with any of the mini games you can just omit them entirely, you won't really be missing out on much of anything. What I'm most looking forward to with TW3 is their promise to make the combat more responsive. I think their semi-pseudo-quasi-Batman-esque combat system is a good base, it just needs some tweaking. Also, they need to work on balancing their skills and signs so you don't have an "I Win" skill (Quen sign) available. Then there's the promise of making HUGE open world while still keeping a good narrative. That... That's going to be a challenge. I hope they take more cues from Obsidian Entertainment than from Bethesda in that regard.

^ "More generals" - Yep. "More strategy" - I doubt it.

No Thunderdome no care.

I'm shocked we haven't heard anything about either Gran Turismo or Uncharted. I thought those were Sony's flagship franchises? Will they really launch the PS4 without one of those?

all i saw was ryse, that digital-only killer instinct remake and dead rising 3. does microsoft have more exclusives than those? They have exclusive Big Brother spying technology. Does that count?

Shrewd move on their part.

So maybe D&D even beat the Japanese to tentacle hentai? Congratulations?

Monks are too sexy for their shirt, too sexy for their shirt, so sexy it hurts.

I'd almost consider buying a Wii U for a new F-Zero alone. F-Zero GX was so insanely awesome. Why has it been so long since we've gotten a proper new game in the series?

Big N's policy of not rushing their 1st party titles and only releasing them when they meet their stringent standards is definitely a hindrance sometimes. That was partly the reason the 3DS launched without a single killer title and it was basically repeated with the Wii U. I do admire the policy, though, as their track record of 1st party titles is impeccable.

I'm glad you got everything sorted out, Indira. This game is just mere weeks away, I'm super excited. I'm still not sure if I'm going Ork Decker or Ork Shaman.
